Musing 1


“You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say. That way, you’ll never have to fear an unanticipated blow.”
— Paulo  Coelho

…and thus “follow your heart,it’s always right” saying comes to mind…Following our heart’s desire sounds easy right?but on the other hand actually doing it is alot more complicated than it seems…

Why…?

…because there are a lot of things to be taken into consideration. Is it morally acceptable? Will it really make me happy? What will the others say? Will it be easy?What if it’s not what i really want?  and all the other what if’s and will it’s…
Following our heart is always contradicted by society’s moral standards. Of what is morally wrong or right,or is it immoral…How will it affect others around us.

Say,for arguments sake, you’re a closet gay. You wanted to be out and let people know your preference. Let’s admit it, being gay is still not totally accepted by the masses,although it might not be an issue anymore to others. Others are still hypocrites. What i’am saying is your relatives might be okay for other people to be gay but would stone you to death if they knew you are one. Do you get my drift..?So you are torn by your heart’s desire against what your family will say and think. Will they accept you or will they cast you out? Will you be brave enough to trust what your heart says?

And the counter argument comes in, what if they will accept you?what if they will actually support you? see our choices are always surrounded by a million what if’s and will it’s… err…i think i just ran out of things to say…i’d prolly edit this some other time when the thought comes back to me again.

…for now following my heart is something i cannot do. For losing control over everything i assume i have control over is something i cannot lose a grip of.

…i dont even think this counts as a blog. LOL my mind is a constant mess of jumbled ideas and theories. :) so please pardon me if i dont make any sense.  ciao! ^^

    it makes perfect sense - and yes, that's quite a dilemma for your hypothetical "friend". and the saying "you'll never know until you try", although tempting, just may make matters worse.
    but of course if that person knows his/her family well, then he/she at least has an an idea how they will react, right?
    be that as it may i still wish this person the best of luck, hypothetical or not.

forgotten tissue paper rants

Tissue papers...table napkins...somehow they fill in the spot for my notebook when it's not handy...They serve as memoirs of my thoughts on that day on that particular time,usually whenever I am in the emo-kid-in-the-corner-writing kind of mood...or mostly because i got bored waiting for somebody... --i found two tissue papers in between pages of my pugad baboy comic book. And well...here it is... --> I was infatuated once. At first I thought it was LOVE, but in the end I realized that it was nowhere near to what love really is. Love is so complicated that there is no way anyone can really define what it is. Perhaps, because every love story is unique for everyone. An experience in which no one can really describe accurately with words. In a way, Love can make us believe in obvious lies and be blind from the truth.Mute,deaf and blind. In short, love can make us incapacitated. Love is too strong a word,equal to hate. But then again, hate is something we also learn from

Kokology ^^

Kokology... --Any one heard that before?If you haven't, this is what it means. _It is derived from the japanese word Kokoro which means mind or spirit affixed with the word -logy which we all know is derived from the word -logos which mean study. So it means it is the study of the human spirit. It is like a psychological game in which the player's answers reflects on their spirit or simply put it's a game of self-discovery. ---This is the study pioneered by Tadahiko Nagao and Isamu Saito,both professors at Rissho and Waseda Universities in Japan. They also published a series of books under the same name. It contains a series of quizzes that will lead you to discover your attitudes towards love,life,work,family and sex. And it often provide interesting and hilarious results to seemingly innocent questions. ----And true enough, when I bought a copy of it, it instantly became a hit with my friends. It is a great way to spice up your barkada bonding moments and of

Read, write, and be free :)

I am a writer. A frustrated one. I know, alot of people are. I'm just one of the millions out there who aspires to be a legitimate one. One who have books published and translated all over the world. One who had books lined up to be bestsellers in every release. One who had books turned into blockbuster movies. One who inspires others to write as well. One who can change other people's lives through their words. Alas, if only I could organize my thoughts turn them into beautiful poems or make them an intricate work of art, maybe I could be like my favorite authors. Brilliant and inspiring. ---I know, they too, didn't have it easy. They didn't conjure the story like magic. They too had what inspired them. They researched, they too suffered from writer's block. They too, like me, have to start from scratch. And to quote one of my favorite authors : "You have to resign yourself to the fact that you waste a lot of trees before you write anything you really li
